Neighbourhood Watch and Stolen

﻿What are the various individual experiences the TWO plays explored within Australian society?

Neighbourhood watch explores the individual experiences:Isolation- all the characters carry an element of loneliness. Catherine is isolated through the memory of Martin (previous boyfriend). Ken is isolated, in his own ‘World of Warcraft’. Ana’s angry temper leads her to live in isolation, stating ‘Ana no trust anyvon’ War- the flashbacks into Ana’s past through a non-linear structure project Ana’s past of war in her previous country, Hungary. For example, the flashback where we see a working nurse with a soldier who had lost his leg during the war. Loss- Ana loses her father during the war, we see this through a flask back where the gypsy sings for the loss of ANAs dad, singing ‘Never anymore vill the start to shining in the sky above this roof… never to come… never anymore’ to express the hurt and tragic loss ANA feels. Catherine has also experienced loss through her ex-boyfriend who had recently committed suicide, her grieving mechanism is shown through her lack of eating and through the repetition of Kens (her housemate) nagging of her to eat, for example through his imperative dialogue after Catherine tries to argue that she had already eaten ‘That’s such a pathetic lie. I’m making you a sandwich.’ It demonstrates her eating disorder caused by her loss of her boyfriend’s death. Love: Ana projects her love for her second husband, Vladimir. Ana’s love for her Vladimir is projected through her everlasting support for him until his death where she says ‘when you is dying and I is bathing your overhead, kissing your hands, carrying you on my shoulder, vashing your kaka, drying your peepee, you is very grateful’. Catherine is still in love with Martin and through the repetition of Catherine imagining Martins reappearance this symbolises her continuous love and missing of him. Friendship: Friendship is depicted as a healing process for Catherine and Ken, and Catherine and Ana. As an element of friendship is helping one another out, Ken helps out Catherine by trying to get her to eat properly and find employment. Ana helps Catherine out as she is always finding ways to make her live a safer life and move on from her previous love (Martin). Stolen explores the individual experiences of:

Loss of Aboriginal identity: All 5 main characters undergo the loss of their aboriginal identity through the harsh isolation process that the white people implemented during the stolen generation. This is evident when JIMMY accuses the white people of stealing his soul in ‘I’ve been a thug and a thief- but I’ve never stolen anyone’s soul’. A sense of place: individuals experience a sense of place which symbolises themselves and their past, for example, Sandy’s dialogue stating ‘Back to me place. That bit of red desert. I still remember it. The sand must have seeped into my brain.’ Symbolises his missing of the past through a sense of place. Cultural stereotypes and Cultural superiority: ALL 5 main characters are isolated, stolen from their birth families and witness the ‘cultural stereotypes’ through the superior and authorial figures of the ‘white people’ the white peoples superiority and authority is strongly portrayed through ‘Unspoken Abuse’ where Ruby’s mood significantly transforms from happy to severely enclosed and depressed. Her depressed state is evident through ‘RUBY returns more slowly than she ever had before. She is dragging a book’ her slowed body language emphasises her depressed state through the abuse experienced by the ‘superior’ white people. Hope and reconciliation: This is seen through the end of the play when Sandy emphasises ‘I don’t have to hide- I’m going home’ to emphasise his persistence, hope and reconciliation in finding home through positive dialogue. What are the TWO performance styles that are used in the plays and identify scenes from the plays that demonstrate each style? A Non naturalistic performance...

Stolen
The book, Stolen, by Vivian Vande Velde was found for me at the John Vaughn NSU library. It is a mystery and adventurous book, to which I should mention that mystery, love, and adventurous are my favorite types of books so two out three isn’t bad at all. The author Vivian Vande Velde has written many other books. Most of her books are for children; a couple of them are in the age group of teen and adult. Like for example “The Conjurer Princess” and “The Changeling Prince” are both books for early teen and beginning adult ages.
There are a lot of characters in my book. There is a little girl who goes by the name Ravyen she leaves with her grandparents which really their not her grandparents they adopted her. Avis and Browley, which are the grandparents of Ravyn. There is Ravyn’s friend Orsen who thinks he is smarter than everybody else and attempts to act tough and big around Rayvn but it never works out the way he had planned on it to. Then there is Isabelle, she is the girl in my book that is lost and wakes up in Ravyn’s grandparent’s house to notice that she remembers nothing including her own name. The main character is my book is the witch, now the witch is a mean old person who according to the village has been stealing everybody’s new born babies.
The genre of my story is mystery, a little scary, and adventurous. It’s not to long of a story but it is just long enough that...

Gemma proves herself to be a courageous survivor under horrific conditions. Discuss.
Introduction: Gemma was put under massive amounts of stress whilst she was stolen, living through many incidents that could have ended in life or death consequences. As Gemma had no idea whether she would be living or dying during her times with Ty, she may as well risk her life if there is a slight chance she could save herself during these actions. Gemma endured through many struggles during her time in the dessert. She survived escaping Ty’s capture and being scorched by the sun. She survived being bitten by a poisonous snake. And over all, she survived being stolen.
Body 1: Gemma took courageous steps to be able to take her ideas of escaping Ty’s Custody and having the realisation that she might not survive. Taking the old, dirty, needle from the sewing machine once again took massive courage for Gemma because what if it didn’t work out? What if Gemma then had to live with the consequences? Who knows what Ty would have done to Gemma because of his anger. Getting into Ty’s car and knowing she might not escape must have been horrific for Gemma.’ But I knew why. Because it was my only chance; because I didn’t know when I’d leave this place again’ page 197. Gemma just had to take the chance, she didn’t belong in the Australian outback with Ty and there might not have been any other chances for her to...

...Has The Neighbourhood Principle failed?
“My neighbour asked me if he could use my lawnmower and I told him of course he could, so long as he didn’t take it out of my garden.”1 This is the concept which most people tend to associate the word ‘neighbour’ with. However, in the court room, the word makes a decisive shift away from this traditional meaning and endeavours to establish to whom a common law duty of care is owed. The law has expanded considerably by the onset of the concept of foreseeable plaintiffs which is almost 80 years in existence in the UK. It is evasive in determining “whether proximity should now be regarded as a discrete analytical concept around which arguments may be constructed, or merely as a slippery expression reflective of the fairness, justice and reasonableness of imposing a duty of care upon the defendant in the light of the nature of his relationship with the claimant.” 2 This essay sets out to establish whether the neighbour principle was successful or if it has fallen short and where, it will present court decisions, statutes and constitutional provisions pertinent to this area of law. In articulating what was meant by “the neighbour principle”, Lord Atkin famously stated the following proposition: “The rule that you must love your neighbour becomes in law you must not injure your neighbour; and lawyer’s question, 'who is my neighbour?’ receives a restricted reply. You must take reasonable care to avoid acts or omissions

...Stolen Generation
The forced removal of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (ATSI) children from their families was an Official Government policy in the early 1900’s. By the late 1980’s, there were more than 100 000 of ATSI descent children who had been taken away from their families and lost links with their language, culture and traditions; they are known as Stolen Generation. Between 1995 – 1997 The Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission (HREOC) provided recommendations to reunite Indigenous families affected by the Stolen Generation. However these recommendations have not been enforced which has resulted in failure to reconcile. The Stolen Generation did not move on to become labourers or servants. In general, the education they received was very poor and The Government did not recognise Indigenous parents as having any rights with regards to their children. In 1995 HREOC began a national inquiry into the separation of Aboriginal children from their families; the report was called Bringing Them Home. As a result of this report Australia had to come to terms with the breech of the United Nations (UN) Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. HREOC has made suggestions to help indigenous people reunite with their families and regain their cultural identities (Marten, 2002, pp229).
It is not possible to regain, what had been lost by indigenous people as result of the forced...

...In W.B Yeats ‘The Stolen Child’, written in 1886, Yeats employs a vivid use of imagery and contrast to create an easily visualised representation of his beloved rural Ireland, but also a world of fantasy and sheer mysticism; a world created from Yeats love and life-long intrigue of the Irish folk-lore tales of old, and how he saw their revival, their symbolism and importance as something that needed to be preserved and re-addressed amongst his modern day Ireland. Considered as one of Yeats better known earlier pieces, the poem itself and its overall message is something I feel is very ultimately left open to much suggestion and debate. In this essay, I seek to highlight Yeats own sense of mysticism toward the old Celtic fables through his passionate and seamless depictions of his rural homeland, the ‘world of reality’ and the strikingly ethereal yet easily envisioned realm of the fairies; his ‘fantasy world’.
In the first stanza, Yeats makes mention toward ‘Sleuth Wood’, the name given to Slish Wood upon Lake Gil which harkens back to his childhood in rural Sligo. ‘Where dips the rocky highland, of Sleuth Wood in the lake’, (Yeats, 2008) a reference to the overlooking hilltop known as ‘The Kings Head’. His use of the woodland by name creates an instantly relatable image for the reader, the natural beauty of the rural Emerald Isle as Yeats saw it immediately realised and established. The beginning of the second stanza again grounds the reader to reality...

...Aboriginal people could better themselves. The dominant racist views in the society and government also means that people believed that Aboriginal people were bad parents and that Aboriginal woman did not look after their children.
No-one knows how many children were taken, as most records have been lost or destroyed. Many parents whose children were taken never saw them again, and siblings who were taken were deliberately seperated from each other. Today many Aboriginal people still do not know who their relatives are or have been unable to track them down.
The generations of children who were taken from their families became known as the Stolen Generations. The practice of removing children continued up until the late 1960s meaning today there are Aboriginal people as young as their late 40s or 50s who are members of the Stolen Generations.
Bringing Them Home
In the 1990s the Australian Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission (the Australian Human Rights Commission) started a national inquiry into the practice of removing Indigenous children. The Bringing Them Home Report on the national inquiry into the separation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children was tabled in Parliament on 26 May 1997.
The report outlined the devastating impact the child removal policies had on children and their families. It found that many of the institutions and homes in which the children were placed were very cruel, and sexual and...
